Arequipa

Arequipa, the White City, is the second largest city in Peru with its 400,000 inhabitants. It is surrounded by high mountain peaks (El Misti, 5,821 mts, Chachani 6,075 mts and Pichu Pichu 5,425 mts) and is located at an altitude of 2,300 mts above sea level. Arequipa has a nice climate, the sun is almost always shining. In the daytime, the temperature will not rise above 25C and in the evening it is cooling down quickly.

Arequipa is a nice city to get used to the altitude. Your second day in Arequipa you will be picked up in the morning to visit the nice spots in the neighbourhood of Arequipa. In the afternoon you will have some time to yourself. The Santa Catalina convent and the mummy Juanita are definitely worth visiting.

In Arequipa we have included a 2-day excursion to the Colca Canyon and Cruz del Condor.

Maybe at the end of you stay in Arequipa you will agree with the Quechua words "Ari que pay" meaning "yes, I want to stay".
